THERs appears to be general misap
prehension of the law on the part Of OuE
Health authorities from the State Board

tenable. 4 county has jurisdiction until

The peach-growers of Delaware, Mary
land and New Jersey will meet at Dover,
Del, on Thursday, May 12, to determine
by what means the abundant crop of
peaches now expected can he distributed
properly throughout the country so as
to prevent glut in few large cities.
The call for the meeting gives this infor-
nation as to the purpose of th6 meet
ing:
We are as competent to place our fruit
in the right market as the city commits
sion men, and by a wise and judicious
distribution to avoid the disastrous evils
of low prices by overstocking few
places. Many other questions condu-
Give to our interests will come before
this convention, such as the invitation
of dealers to buy directly of us at home.
the establishment of a fruit market of
our own in New York and other places,
the arbitrary course of the New York
commission men in giving away our
peach baskets without even showing Us
the courtesy of asking our consent and
other questions of vital Importance. We
must have lower freiShts. We must de
velop more new markets. We must inn
itate all the great and successful indus
tries of our country by cooperation with
each other for our own good We must
cease shipping ut hazard. We must have
system.
The call is signed by over hundred
of the leading peach growers of Dele
ware and Maryland. 1t invites dealers
from the large cities to he present at the
meeting.

One Reason WHY.

n correspondent. promising that ed
itors know everything. desires a solution
10 the question why the farming indus
try of the country is so depressed. At
tentive perIIsaI of the journals devoted
to the agricultural interest bears out our
correspondents dictum as to the omnis-
cience of editOrs-they not only know
everything but their knowledge is so
universal or varied or variegated, that
country agree upon this topic. However,
there are facts which every farmer
should bear in mind. Under the Ameri-
can system of Protection almost every
thing the farmer uses and does not him
self produce il protected, that is, taxed
for the benefit of American manufac-
turers and producers of raw material
other than agricultural. to enable them
to maintain high prices and make large
profits for themselves. The frequent
strikes prove that the protective tariff
does not protect the workman.
On the other hand. almost nothing the
farmer raises Is protected. Wool is an
exception, but the wOol-grower has a
constant struggle to- prevent a reduction
of the tariff. Not only are the great
staples almost unprotected but foreign
countries. notably France and Germany,
have put a heavy tariff ON American
pork and cereals. practically ex-
Guiding them from the markets of
those countries. \ very great part of the
supply of eggs used in this country
comes from northern Europe. Our sugar
meets with competition from foreign
growers to such a degree that there is
talk of subsidies. There is no tariff on
oranges and lemons. and only the supe-
rior excellence of the Florida product
maintains its price in the market.
As the consumer pays all the taxes on
! the article consumed, the farmer and
| fruit grower are heavily taxed by the
protective tariff. He can not return the
burden of taxes to- the shoulders of the
consumer of what he has to sell, for he
is met mt the threshold by a ruinOus com
petition uncontrolled except by the mid
| dlemen whose interest it is to control
competition only on the side of the con-
! sumner, not that of the producer of farm
| and garden products. There is no one
more helpless in the market than the
agricultural producer. This is one of the
causes of agricultural depression.

New York World.
NEW HAVEN. Conn, April 2J.-Chas.
L. Beecher. of No. 10 Mill street, who
committed suicide yesterday, is now be-
lieved by many to have. been driven to
his death 10y belief that he was haunted
by the ghost of his wife. The fact that he
took so much pains in preparing for his
death is thought to indicate that his
mind had given way. He first shot his pet
dog and then seated himself in an easy
chair and took aim through the medium of
a hand-mirror and put bullet through
his head. He had frequently told some
of his ncighbors that he couI,i not live in
the house owing to tine frequent appear
ancc of the spirit of his wife. who died
about three months ago. He said that
her figure. increased to twice its usual
size. appeared To him ON the wall of his
room very often. The vision ALWAYS
seemed To- lie carrying a babe in its arms.
and this, he said, was the figure of an
infant that his wife had lost.
Confederation of the ghost story was
given 10y a SiXteen-year-Old girl named
Collar. who lives i'm the house adjoining
the one occupied by Beecher. The girl,
together with a servant employed in the
house of l.. l.. Camp. near by. went into
Beechers house one evening ut his invi-
tation to- see the ghost. Miss Collar
says that huge figure like a shadow did
appear ON the wall carrying a babe in its
arms. Beecher sat in his chair and
pointed to the apparition, exclaiming:
There she Is. there's my wife.
Miss Collar SAYS that she ran up to the
| wall and slapped the vision. but when
| she did 50 il moved off to another por-
| ton Of the wall, and when she repeated
| the slapping operation the same thing
| took place The servant girl who was
with her says that she too saw the fig
| ure. Beecher has been seen moving
| things out of the house of late. Some say
| he did not treat his wife well towards
| the end of her life. When she died. one
| of the neighbors went To Medical Exam

would bear Investigation, but nothing

We Are not Answered

The Florida Herald still declines To

have arisen to confront the Demo
cratic party within the immediate past.
and maintains position on the fence.
There we leave our highly respected con-
temporary. Why should the mind Iinger
IN doubt when the material for the
formation of an opinion is so easily
accessible? The Herald has made charges
against Governor Perry which are most
damaging if they are true. The MEM
bers of the Legislature who have faith
cred these accusations had two courses
open before them-one led to a manly
remonstrance addressed To the Gov
ernor-the other to an impeachment I'M
der the law. The position taken is n most
reprehensible one. While 1.-The mind is

doubt is most safely expressed by
silence"
But when the silence has been broken
justice can only he satisfied by acquittai
or condemnation. The PAIATKA NEWS
Is not answered" but it quits the sub
Ject because the Herald abandons all
argum ant and makes no citation of facts.
1t is a serious subject with which senti-
mentality has no concern. Since the
Bloxham men take no responsibility in
the matter and refuse to support or aban-
don their accusations there is nothing
more to be said. But more depends on
It's proper solution than the pending
